Italian review:

Ho trovato lo stile scorrevole e leggero (non credevo di finire il libro in così poco tempo!) e la storia parecchio complicata. Mi è venuto il mal di testa nel cercare di ricordare tutte le informazioni che ci vengono fornite. Nonostante questo si segue il corso degli eventi senza troppa fatica.

Gwendolyn è fantastica. Una ragazza simpatica e senza peli sulla lingua. Mi sono ritrovata a ridere a crepapelle per le sue risposte piccate o per i suoi pensieri sarcastici o bizzarri.
D'altra parte, Gideon è il genere di ragazzo che troverei sicuramente anticipatico e arrogante (esattamente come ha fatto la protagonista).

Sono curiosa di sapere come continua e di capire cosa stanno cercando di fare Lucy e Paul. Non credo proprio siano loro i nemici.

English review:

I found the style very easy and light (I didn't think I was gonna finish the book in so little time!) and the story very complicated. Trying to remember esch information that is been given to us gave me a headache. Despite this it's easy to follow the course of events without much difficulty.

Gwendolyn is amazing. A friendly and outspoken girl. I found myself laughing my ass off for her snarky answers or for her sarcastic and bizarre thoughts.
On the other hand, Gideon is the type of guy that I would find unpleasant and arrogant for sure (just like the protagonist did).

I'm curious to know how it continues and to understand what are trying to do Lucy and Paul. I don't think they're the real villains.

I enjoyed this! Parts of it I absolutely loved, and parts of it were a little disappointing, so it evened out to a solid 3 and half stars, bumped to four. Very entertaining! I'm excited for the next books, as this first installment definitely read like a detailed introduction to the world.
